Strangetastic: The Crybaby Ghost

I suppose just about every little town has a crybaby bridge, at least any town that water runs through, and River Derbane is no exception. Nonetheless, there are certain features of the story that I believe deserve a telling. Now the bridge is nothing spectacular of itself, just a little wooden structure crossing a tributary of our bayou, but if you stand atop it quietly on a still and moonless night, you’ll hear the crybaby ghost. Off in the distance, or maybe right in front of you, the sound of a wailing infant starts up. The voice drifts around, and those that try to find the child usually end up lost or worse.
